Commissioner control for eliminating teams in Death league
There should be an option available to allow a commissioner to manually eliminate teams from the league each week in Death leagues. Yahoo use to be set up like this before it became automatic. This option allows for eliminated teams to be able to "buy back" into the league for a one time basis in such leagues.
Thank you for your feedback regarding allowing commissioners to manually eliminate teams from the league. We will pass it along to our team! When using the "Death" scoring type, all eliminations are automatic. You can run your own leagues with the "Season Points" scoring type where the commissioner does everything themselves including locking teams and dropping players from teams.

Death League Locking rosters for final four
It would be great for the death leagues, if we can lock the rosters of the final four from their players being dropped when eliminated. For example let’s say final four and team four is the lowest point. They are eliminated but their players are not released for teams 1-3 to pick up. Instead teams 1-3 can make waiver bids on the players still in the waiver pool from teams 18-5 that are not on a roster

Show me where to find the freaking commissioners tools.
Your help page says to "just navigate to the commissioner tab" but there is no freaking commissioner tab!
I want to stop my league from auto renewing. I don't want to use last year's league. I keep getting emails that it will auto renew, and when I try to follow the steps to stop that from happening, the **** I need to click is missing.
We will be moving to another platform for this year, because this has become ridiculous.Hey Earl,
For technical assistance, please contact us through the Sports tab at help.yahoo.com.
Please note that Private Leagues automatically renew by default. You can manually renew early. To disable auto-renewal, you must manually renew your league and update the auto-renewal settings in the Commish Tools.

Special Teams Category
I believe the K & SP unit naturally go together & should be 1 category (K/SP). Yahoo administrators should grant commissioners the power (option) to separate Special Teams from the Defense & place it with the Kicker Category..

Ban a commissioner going under name Honda Racers in a league USA name
I was in a league for several years, named USA with a commissioner under rather name Honda Racers, I was playing him in semi finals of league and had a substantial lead going into Monday game and noticed he had taken a QB that played Sunday ,not on his team, and he picked him up and replaced A QB that scored 10. I know you won’t do anything about this , but feel more limited powers giver to this person. I have no desire to ever play in his league again EVER, but I have several leagues I play. Please…
Yahoo doesn't interfere in any way when it comes to Private Leagues including issues with a Private League commissioner. Using League Chat or directly emailing the commissioner is the best way to address any problems.
For a Fantasy Sports experience without a commissioner try a Public League. Yahoo acts as commissioner in Public Leagues where Fair Play and Sportsmanship guidelines are enforced.

Roster lock guillotine leagues
How is there no roster lock in the guillotine leagues? It should lock with 4 teams left. Otherwise the rosters become absurd and no strategy
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your feedback. We will pass along your feedback to our product team.
Commissioners in a Private Guillotine-style league can use their tools to lock teams from adding and dropping players once it reaches a certain point in the season.

Points for flags
Adding a points for players who would’ve made you points if the defence hadn’t Fowled them be cool. Ie pass interference calls on them so the ball gets placed at the spot of the flag would get your player half the yards at least

only players that are on IR should be placed on IR. get rid of the other designations
commissioner tool need a button to click that only allows players that are on IR to be placed on IR. you need to give commissioner the ability to move players that are on IR that are not IR on other teams to their active roster and make that team illegal to force them to fix their line up. this is a horrible loop hole that teams are using to hoard and pick up players especially if you are in a league with limited roster spots. i know on other sites you have the ability to only allow IR to be…

Matchup Changes
Our league has a scheduling discrepancy. I am unable to change 2 matchups for week 9 even though week 9 is labeled as "Not Started Yet". This seems unfair as there is still time before Thursday night kick-off and we are unable to resolve a simple issue. I am the commissioner of this league...
Hey Vincent,
A commissioner can edit the schedule in a head-to-head league up until 11:59 PM PT the night before the first game of the week.
After that deadline, you'll need to contact Yahoo to make this change for you. You can reach out through the sports tab at help.yahoo.com for assistance.

Division Seeding By Points For
In League ID#40102, the head of one division has less points for, which I thought was the determining factor for ranking. They did happen to beat the team that has the same record but more points for. Shouldn't the 3 seed be the division leader?

Not allow a player to move to IR after game has started
Hi Yahoo Fantasy Support,
I’m the commissioner of our Family Football league, and I noticed an issue during last night’s GB vs. WAS game that I feel needs to be addressed.
Jaylen Reed began the game active and on my bench. After he was injured and ruled out for the rest of the game, the system allowed me to move him to IR and then pick up another player off waivers. This creates a loophole that undermines fair play, because I already have settings in place so that a player cannot be dropped once their game has started.
In my…
Thank you for your feedback regarding not allowing a team to move a player to their IR spot after their game has already started. Currently, there is no setting to prevent this. You would have to make an internal rule amongst the league members to not have them do this. We appreciate your feedback regarding this and we will pass it along to our team!

have someone actually monitor email help requests
Have agents or help desk personnel ACTUALLY respond to your email requests. NOT at all happy that I get NO support. We'll be switching back to CBS Sports after this season! And all of this mess with waiver order and other minute details, that do matter I might add, all seem like no big deal to Yahoo and this is only week 1. No wonder Yahoo Fantasy Football is free. You get what you pay for!

Commissioner tools are lacking for team management
I tried to find a way to swap manager and co-manager. There is no way. The only way to do this is to invite the co-manager (Transfer team), and then add back the original manager as co-manager. Ideally a swap of manager / co manager would be great. This is even more painful the manager being transferred FROM is the commissioner. Imagine we have:
1. Team A managed by the commish, who wants to transfer ownership to someone else.
2. Transfer cannot be done directly because COMMISH NEEDS TO MANAGE A TEAM IN THIS LEAGUE.
3. Find some other user… -
MINIMUM FAB BID
I have people in my league that are getting free agents that dont bid any money on players. Why does Yahoo not give the commissioner the option to set a minimum bid? Even $1 should be the lowest they can go. Just doesnt seem right....
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for your feedback.
The FAB budget is only for players on waivers. Managers do not have to put in an offer to add a free agent player. The minimum offer for waiver players is $0.
We will provide your feedback to our product team.

Pickem League Settings
for pickem leagues, please make a setting where the commissioner can choose to have the point spreads end in half points (ex 7.5), instead of zero (ex 7.0). this would assure there would be no ties for pickem. ties are pointless. thank you.

Commissioner Optimal Players Button for setting other teams lineup when they drop out of the league.
Since I'm a Yahoo Plus subscriber I use the Start Optimal Players button a lot. I'd like to have that available as a commissioner when I am forced to control another team where an owner has dropped out. That way I get an unbiased lineup for each week. Right now I can only set that other team's lineup manually.

Manager-less team
Please let me add a manager-less team ahead of time rather than waiting for the scheduled draft.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to add a manager-less team ahead of the draft. If your league has an odd number of teams and it is a head-to-head league, the manager-less team will be created when the league drafts. We appreciate your feedback regarding this and we will pass it along to our team!
